Show ' J y THE PROGRESSIVE OPINION Dart Board for Game Room In these times, when every bit of material must be utilized, home decorators who finish the walls of basement game rooms with color-kot- e insulating panels, are now suggesting that a left-ov- piece of board be painted as a dart board. Rising Sun Shagawake, Province of Quebec, was named by the Micmac Indians, from a word of their language meaning "land of the rising sun." The Baie des Chaleurs, to which the Indians often traveled, was in the direction of the rising sun from this location. &BlP By EUGENE CUNNINGHAM JpP2 "S EUGENE CUNNINGHAM W. NO.

With his pal, Caramba Year, he is working for Topeka Tenison, owner of the Broken wheel ranch. Nevil Lowe, marshal of the neighboring town of Tivan, is after him but doesn't yet know that the "Twenty Johnson" of the Broken Wheel is the man he suspects of being Comanche Linn. Lowe's sister, Janet, is staying with the Tenisons. They are deeply attached to her, having lost their only child, a boy, when he was kidnaped many years before. Among the enemies of the Broken Wheel are Dud Paramore, Megeath and his friend Monk Irby, and the very tough Latimers. Con has already encountered all of them and has so far gotten the best of them. Me-geath and Dud Paramore also hate Nevil Lowe and are trying to kidnap Janet. Con makes friends with old "Step" Gay-lor-a cow hand, by giving him a pint of whiskey. Step teaches him more tricks of "drawing" and shooting. Now continue with the story. CHAPTER XVIII Con had a chance to look at the rest of the casa principal when, after supper, Mrs. Tenison led them into the great front room with its fireplace across an end, and vivid Navajo rugs everywhere. When Mrs. Tenison went to look at her patients, he said, almost without thinking: "This just suits me, somehow. I I feel like well, it's like home." "Then, why not make it home?" Janet aslced contemptuously, looking straight at him now. "A little Can stepped back Listening: to Palafox pant. thought and you oughfc to be able to vaguely recall this, and that, and remember little things in your child-hood that all fit in." "I do!" Con told her promptly. "And he told me that he'd been in this part of the country." He shook his head and looked with ugly twist of the mouth at the ciga-rette he was rolling. "You know me for what I am and you can warn the Tenisons not to believe a word I say. Or you can warn 'em again. Oh! Sent word to Nevil that I'm here?" "I haven't said a word to them! And I haven't sent any message to Nevil. No matter what you are, you " Outside, going slowly toward the bunkhouse, he kicked viciously, blindly, at pebbles. "I'll keep out of her way," he promised himself. "She will have to be leaving, sometime. I'll dodge her until she does go." He thought of the rustler whom the Martinezes had buried, for a while, after the bunkhouse was dark and quiet. But it was as Mrs. Teni-son had said, he decided: in a fight-ing country you hardened yourself to fight for your own. Perch was snoring evenly. So was the cook. Con took his pistol from under the mattress and went noiselessly to the door. There was a pale moon, now, and in the faint light he saw the horseman going to the faint light showing him only as a distorted shape. Then he saw the outline of the man's hand, slightly lifted. He stiffened. For what looked to be an enormously lengthened forefinger was a pistol barrel, he knew. "Hel-lo- , Con!" the man said drawlingly. "How you been?" Con tried to place the voice, vaguely familiar as it was, while he watched the pistol and wondered tautly what this meant. "Long time since we wawaed us an evening away. Yes, sir! You kind of raised up hell and shoved a chunk under it, since then! You " "Martino Palafox, the deputy!" Con breathed, staring. "Yen. And I'm here to see you. Reach up your paws, boy, and see if your both ears still hang right. You ought to thank el buen dios, boy, that I ain't like some Terri-tory star poles! I would have shot you right out from under your cow-lick! The reward is five hundred dead or alive! And it's easier to pack beef than a kicking steer." "Milgracias! A thousand thanks! But you're barking up the wrong tree, amigo. Comanche Linn was killed outside Salado. Lee Welsh told me so, after I met the bunch in Fronteras. You'll make no five hundred on Con Cameron, going by Twenty Johnson on the Wheel. An-other thing! I'm in hell's own hurry, tonight. Listen, now: the wagons went to Skull Spring and they are going to ram hellbent into Helligo Canyon, first crack out of the box. You know they're going to get fraz-zled " "Yeh? So, you aim to hightail and get frazzled with 'em! Or do you fig-ure, maybe, to stop it? Stand still! Nothing we can do about it, boy. They'll run into a lead hailstorm and about half the boys won't never smile again. Then they'll pull off and Gloomy and Quirk and Dud and the rest'U have a hurrah on every outfit this side the Bravo." He went around Con and searched him deftly. The back waistband hideout was obviously no mystery to him! "All I'm packing is some money," Con told him abruptly. "Ever see an English penny, Martino? I've got one. Sort of scratched up. Some-body put W.W. on it. Might catch your eye." , "Might," Palafox agreed blandly, "if it was in somebody else's pock-et." But he stood frowningly before Con, pistol at his waist, the ham-mer down. Then he shook his head and shrugged. "Sorry! There's lots of things I like about your style and your rec-ord in the Territory. But it's yes, and no, on the scale. The no is a liT bit bigger. Sorry!" Con's hands, pinching his ears, moved flashingly downward in short chopping blows to the deputy's neck. something that I, Con Cameron, wanted to do or had to do because it was the right thing, the Territory has said: "He did it .easy of course because he's that gunslick and killer, Comanche Linn!" I'm damn' tired of it. Gonzales was the first man I ever killed and that was simon-pur- e accident!" He lowered at both of them, Nei-ther said anything. "I do think I'm a damn' sight bet-ter man than this Comanche was!" he burst out. "From what I heard, he was like the Eaniers, and Dud Paramore: Kill you any old way. Now, Martino! You rammed your nose into me at the wrong time. I'm going to tie you up long enough to keep you from under my feet. Step, I want to talk to you, straight and hard. Topeka and Gale " "I was listening. I been doing some thinking, too. I'm in a bog. Topeka's going to get hisself rubbed out if he rams into Helligo with Gloomy's bunch shooting down. And I can't have that. They ain't got a chance, except I help. If you and me and Martino take cards in this, it'll be Gloomy's bunch that ain't got a chance." Step said presently, "A' right, Martino! You feel like being a good liT boy and believing that this kid never was Comanche Linn except by mistake and in the Territory?" "You believe him, I believe him! I never could quite put it. straight in my head, the way he looks and acts, and the tales about Comanche Linn." "Bueno! There's a trail .we found, forty-som- e year back, down into the valley. Helligo's back door. We can make it down, with a liT luck. Now, hand Martino back his hard-ware store. Let's get our horses. You better take a Wheel caballo, Martino, in place of your tired one. Twenty Con amble to the bunk-house and roust out them Sunday punchers. We want shells. Your gun's .44, like ours, Martino?" "Pistol is. But I pack a .45-9- 0 rifle; no carbine." "Come on, then! We'll saddle up, while Con hunts .44' s." Con dodged with his arms full through the door and trotted toward the corral. When almost there, he stopped short. For a slim figure in some sort of dark robe came from the shadows toward him. 'Con!" she gasped. "You They they mustn't! I've heard Nevil say that nobody can get into Helligo Canyon against the fire of a hand-ful of men. You'll all be killed without a chance!" "We've got a notion. Can't tell you what it is. But it may just tip things over to the wagons' side. We're the ones to do the tipping, if it can be done. Now, we're in a rush . . .". She said something under her breath, but he hurried past and went on to where Step and Martino wait- - the corral. When he was sure that only one man was there, Con crossed the space in bare feet, pistol up. The corral gate squeaked. He waited until sure that the man was unsad-dling, then went forward for a clos-er look. A slouching figure came toward him, dragging rather than carrying a saddle. "Who's it?" Con challenged him softly. "Take it easy!" "Twenty?" the man answered. "This is Lanny. Topeka sent me back. I got to send him Johnny Dutch tomorrow, in my place. ,1 got my ankle sprained and skinned up enough that it'd take a pair of chaps to piece out my hide. But that ain't what's got me down, boy. Hell's to pay, or going to be. Them damn' fools aim to work Helligo Canyon this roundup. First thing!" Con whistled softly. "Yes, sir! The Big Augers been scheming it. Y Bar and LA and Walking X and 56 and 4U and Pig-pen and the rest never headed for Antelope Springs, no more'n we done. Skull Spring was the place!" "Well," Con said cheerfully, "I think it's about time! Come on in-side. Let's wawa this out some more. Your notion is, the outfits will slam point-o- n into the Canyon and Gloomy and his gang will stay covered and frazzle our side?" He carried the horse wrangler's saddle for him iflto the bunkhouse and called to Perch ..and the cook. Lanny lighted the wall lamp and went over to sprawl on a bunk. Con made himself comfortable on a bench with a cigarette. He told Perch and the cook what Lanny had said. Perch swore softly, staring. The wrangler nodded. Con watched him. For the first time in hours, he thought of the English penny given him by Judge Wiley, as he had seemed to feel its weight when looking at little Step. But Lanny seemed sincerely trou-bled and Con could not think that the wrangler would have showed so much concern over possible dam-age to the thieves. Lanny lighted a cigarette and sprawled flat, easing his sprained ankle. "I think I'll go tell old Step about this," Con grunted. He went over to put down his pistol and draw on boots. Perch laughed grimly. "Likely, the old hellion'll kill you for rousting him out. You won't need the light to come in by. Blow it out and we'll catch up forty winks." Con nodded. At the door, he blew out the lamp flame, then moved to-ward the line of quiet adobes. Con had passed the corner of the. corral when a soft scuff of feet turned him mechanically. His hand went toward his belt before he re-membered that his Colt was on the Dunk. A man came out of shadows, i'alarox siaggerea, dui ms gunnana jerked. Con struck hard at that arm with his left while he pivoted to drive a terrific swinging right to the unprotected jaw. Palafox dropped his gun and one leg buckled. Con smashed him over the heart and sent him sprawling backward. Then he stooped to snatch up the Colt and move in. Two derringers and a sheath knife formed the rest of the deputy's arm-ament. Sure of this. Con stepped back, listening to Palafox pant. Like voice to his own questions came Step's drawl: "Now that you got him, what you aim to do with him?" Palafox sat up as the little man came . shadow-quie- t up to Con. He shook his head as to clear it. Con shrugged grimly, looking from Step to the prisoner. "So this boy is Comanche Linn, huh?" Step drawled. "Well, that does kind of rip the cover off some things . . ." "Listen!" Con drawled in his turn, wearily. "I'm tired of saying that I'm not Comanche Linn, who was a dirty little murdering maniac over in Texas. He used to ride with Welsh and the Raniers. He got killed riding with 'em. I met the three at Fronteras and came on with 'em. So all the country has called me Comanche Linn. Every time I've had lots of luck doing ed, witn .rancno ana two otner horses saddled. "Buen viaje!" Janet called shaki-ly, as they rode off. "Hasta la vista Con!" Step led the way out across the east range at the hard trot, a jolt-ing gait that did not encourage talk. They rode steadily until daylight, then halted briefly to eat some of the steak and biscuits that Step had foraged, smoke and relax. The going was rougher and the climbing steady, in afternoon. The sun was warm, but as it slid west-ward the air grew chill under the trees. They made a fireless camp and finished the food. Step had them in the saddle before dawn. But they rode only a few miles, then un-saddled and hobbled the horses. Step went off in the gray light and was gone for a half-hou- When he came back, he was like another man. The faded eyes shone like narrow bits of glass nd his teeth showed snarling- - ly. "Grab your ropes! Glad you got that long rawhide, Martino. Mine's another like it. Come on! Can't hear from down here, but when you hit the rim up yonder only place you can hit it! you can make out the shooting. Begun while I was listening. Wagons must've rolled up and opened the ball."

Hard Coal Models Anthracite models of automatic coal burners have automatic ash removing mechanisms. Easily Changed Automatic heating systems can be easily changed from one type of automatic fuel to another, say en-gineers. If one fuel is restricted, a change can be made within a few hours so the burner can use a solid fuel.
